Fashion Q: Helmet/Sunglasses Question

[TxDoc]

I've usually worn dark helmets in the past, currently a black/carbon Volt. However it causes sweat to run in my eyes, so I'm going back to a Giro.

Have you tried Rudy helmets? Many people who complain about sweat when racing have found Rudy Project helmets/shades to be the best combinations. This is especially true if you race any TT's because their helmets have matching visors/lenses that can be mounted on.

However we also tried some white Oakley Radar's with an red/orange mirrored lens.

Those are very nice lenses. Could you match the lens color instead of the frame color - and find a black or otherwise dark helmet with some red and white highlights? That would avoid the plain white helmet. A while ago someone (Bell? Giro?) made a helmet that was white, red, black and something else (yellow or orange) - which could be a good match.

The white glasses seemed more trendy and we both liked them, but the black goes with my dark bikes, and a safe choice.

What colors are your bikes - do they have predominant black or some other colored insert that you could match? Look at the teams around - sometimes their designers go through a whole lot of effort to match sponsor colors - so we can get really good ideas fom them. Some predominantly black teams this time around are BMC and Caisse d'Epargne for example. I'm sure you would see more if you take a peek at the races, Tirreno just finishe today and Milan-Sanremo comes up Saturday.
Good luck and have fun shopping!

You match your sunglasses to your bike?

What's wrong with that... I match everything!!!
